Expedition: Cave of the Nadir

Considering my current situation I believe it would be wise for me to expedite my expedition to the Cave of the Nadir, or rather my preparations for it. I have been researching in preparation for this expedition for some time now, however I wanted some advise before setting out on it.
Aside from a surplus of expedition supplies, is there anything else I will need before I start it? Likewise, once I complete the expedition for the first time will I need the supplies for a ray-drenched cinder right away? Or can I return to the entrance at any time?
(Note: I have already been checking the wiki guide in advance)

Once you reach the entrance of the Cave of the Nadir you're free to do other things. It sticks around as a storylet in the Forgotten Quarter until you get around to stepping inside. I don't recall anything apart from the Cinder that you'll need, but there's some equipment you can upgrade in the Cave of the Nadir if you'd like a chance of doing that on your first trip. Nothing amazing, but it's there. You can actually get +9 Shadowy shoes if you bring in Hushed Spidersilk Slippers, but 320 echoes is pretty steep for just 1 point over the Kingscale Boots.
On another note, if you want to clear your hand of the skull cards while you're preparing for the expedition you can take a brief visit into the Pickpocket's Promenade in Spite. It'll get rid of the cards, letting you use the deck until your hand is full of those menace cards again. There are other places that clear your hand, but I find the Pickpocket's Promenade convenient.

Personally I would just go with the 400 echo option. It's generally a lot quicker than waiting to get 5 Eyeless Skulls. The 50 Fate option is pretty nice if you've got money to burn. I picked that option on my main, and didn't regret it at all.
I wouldn't recommend the Revolutionary connection trade unless you already have 100+, and don't mind dropping that by 2535 CP. It's not worth the actions to build it up specifically for that option.

Yep, that's definitely high enough to utilize the University/Flit method (well, 177 makes it 100% straightforward, but that's close enough). You'll want to start out with Investigations in the University, and once your Investigating is high enough go into the Flit to play More than just messages.
